Introduction
Wu Zhixiong's "Houses by the Riverside: Hisley" depicts an elegance and tranquility from 1890. This painting delicately presents the riverside landscape using oil paint, where the distant buildings and nearby boats create a harmonious scene. The blue sky and flowing water resonate together, bringing a breath of fresh air, while the use of color shows the Impressionists' sensitive capture of light and shadow changes. This work not only reflects the artist's love for natural scenery but also symbolizes an ideal life away from the clamor of the city. Through this painting, we can glimpse the endless pursuit of beauty and nature by artists of that era.
